Home description
We offer real comfort in our newly built home in the countryside. Each bedroom has a large en suite shower room, and the lounge invites you to spend any amount of time listening to music, watching TV, reading or even snoozing. We have two terraces, one of which lends itself to relaxing on sun loungers, both with views to mountains & Vilafames on the hillside. The highest mountain in this region, 'Penygolosa' can easily be seen from our home. We are situated in the peaceful countryside with easy road access. From our front gate a number of outdoor activities can take place such as walking, jogging, mountain biking & bird watching. .The bustling city of Castellon is only a 30 minute drive away providing a massive range of interesting, individual shops, restaurants & historical architecture. Vilafames, a village of amazing character also houses the Museum of Contempary Art & several bars & restaurants. A place you could easily meander around for an enjoyable day out.

The Costa Blanca / Valencia / Costa del Azahar region
The Costa del Azahar is one of the last remaining areas undiscovered by British holidaymakers. Beside sandy white beaches & fragrant orange groves the Costa del Azahar offers a pleasant climate, breathtaking countryside (both coast & mountains) & delicious local cuisine. The province has the highest proportion of land protected in Parks & Nature Reserves in Spain. In short this is an attractive, very Spanish area with plenty of things to do. One hour north of this region is the Ebre delta, a world heritage site where there is an abundance of bird life & provides great opportunities for cycling for the whole family. Bikes can be rented. A 45 minute drive can take you to some Bronze Age cave paintings, also a beautiful area for walking.

We are only 1km from the peaceful, picturesque mountain village of narrow, corkscrewing, cobbled streets & houses edged in chunky red stone. Around every corner of meandering, medieval thoroughfares you'll be amazed at what you find at Vilafames. Explore the castle, church & our regions important Museum of Contempary Art. Our main Fiesta is held in August. Borriol Golf course is a 20 min drive from our home. In our area we have a wide variety of things to do & see.

For the motor sport fan, there is circuit Recado Tormo where winter testing is carried out by all major Formula 1 teams & winter testing by MotoGP teams. The highest mountain in this region is called 'Penygolosa'; a challenge for those who enjoy walking. The drive will take approx: 1 hour.
